How does this look?
'Tá Máirtín agus Máire tigh ósta' : Martin and Máire are at a pub
Or can you only use 'tigh' when you know the name of the pub (e.g. Tigh Cháit)?
Grma rr! |

I thought tigh ósta was a hotel/guesthouse=óstlann
pub=tigh tábhairne
Tá Máirtín agus Máire i dtigh tábhairne

Well teach ósta is used in Conamara for a pub, then óstán for a hotel.
Actually I didn't realise you could put the preposition in front of 'tigh'. Happy days :) |

Did some googling and it looks like 'i dteach tábhairne/ósta' is used as often as 'i dtigh tábhairne/ósta' |

Well there is no "teach" in Munster Irish (the Queen of Irish dialects).
